Coco is a senior

Coco has cataracts and she's 56 years old (in human years)! I took Coco to the vet on Saturday and found that she is now considered a "senior" dog. So we did some diagnostic wellness exams. Haven't got all the results back yet, but so far she seems healthy.
We both hope she lives a long, long time - after all, she's one of the "Three of Us". It's rather uncanny how dogs have evolved to be such compatible companions to humans. They really steal the hearts of their human guardians, and Coco is no exception!

I heard from the Vet today and all of Coco's tests are fine. Her cataracts are very slight and if they do get worst they can be treated with eye drops to help with the condition.
So all in all is she doing very well and we can expect her to terrorize us for many more years.

Must I say that even in her "senior" years Coco has an absolute favorite person... But I'm a distant second... Viva Coco, Mighty Dog!!!! Ivan
